9. NO - NO - NO - NO - NO

"Signing" a web-petition will make you feel good, and will ACCOMPLISH NOTHING. If anyone seriously wants to change the Senate rules, close your web browser and CONTACT THE SENATORS DIRECTLY. Compose a letter or an email IN YOUR OWN WORDS and send it to their office, or pick up the phone and talk to their staff. Personally, I've discussed this with Reid, Warren, Murphy, Kaine, Donnelly, Brown, Baldwain, Heitkamp, McCaskill, Tester and Cantwell. I've also made it clear to DSCC that anyone who opposes reform will be off my contribution list.

10. Best to do it...

Handwritten as well.
A handwritten letter, to elected officials, equate to what is figured to be 100 individuals with the same viewpoint. So if you send a handwritten letter, that woul be the same as 100 people voicing the same opinion
Typed or out-of-the-printer letter is a one-to-one.
